Majestic Cape Blomidon towers over the site's 1,111 hectares (2,745 acres) of diked land. According to Mi’kmaw legends, giant Kluscap (Glooscap) watched over his people from this promontory.
First developed by the Acadians in the 1680s, the dyked lands, fields and village on the hills were then taken over and enlarged over the years by descendants of the Planters of New England, then followed by immigrants, including English and Scots, in the 19th & 20th centuries, and the Dutch, after World War II.
